Sentsov is forced to terminate hunger strike, - lawyer

The condition of Ukrainian filmmaker and political prisoner Oleg Sentsov is stable, the colony is concerned about his condition though. Sentsov's lawyer Dmytro Dinze claimed this in a commentary to Hromadske.

'Most of all, the colony is concerned about Sentsov's condition, since they believe that he approaches irreversible changes. They try to break him, so he stops the hunger strike. They bet that allegedly political arguments are yet exhausted and nobody cares about his hunger strike, so it seems to be pointless,' he said.

Recently, Sentsov’s lawyer stated on the deterioration of his condition. He has a very low hemoglobin, which led to anemia, as well as a very low pulse. Oleg has a bad heart, he was asked twice to be taken to a hospital.

However, the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in Yamalo-Nenets County claimed that the medical staff examines Sentsov on daily basis, and his condition is satisfactory. Furthermore, according to the lawyer of the political prisoner, the Chief Doctor of the Hospital in Labytnangi city was threatening Oleg Sentsov by tying up and drugging him with medicine and artificial nutrition.

Reportedly, earlier, Russian Ombudsman Tetiana Moskalkova claimed that Ukrainian political prisoner Oleg Sentsov who is in Russian Labytnangi colony rejected the hospitalization due to the absence of illness and satisfactory conditions.
